How are you Celebrating the Golden Eaglets 4th Victory?
Nigeria on Friday became the most successful team in FIFA U-17 World Cup history with a 3-0 win over Mexico at the Mohammad Bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Nigeria beat defending champions Mexico to win the FIFA Under-17 World Cup title for the fourth time and made history by being the first country to win the junior world trophy four times.
By far the most exciting team of the tournament, the Eaglets were always the bookies favourites to emerge champions after a scintillating display that had seen them score 23 goals in six games.
